The company also provided donations of goods to support community activities and post-disaster recovery for communities surrounding the company through the Al-Khairiyah Foundation in Cilegon.
The Community Relations event in Cilegon was attended by a representative of the Italian Embassy in Indonesia, the Mayor of Cilegon, the local education agency, and the recipient schools. Cilegon Mayor Robinsar expressed appreciation for Tenaris’s ongoing commitment to supporting education, local talent development, and job creation.
